Introduction: cerebrovascular disease provokes important limitations, disabilities and is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world.
Objective: to describe the mortality rate due to cerebrovascular disease at Abel Santamaría Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital in Pinar del Río between 2015 and 2017.
Methods: a retrospective and descriptive research was conducted. The target group included all patients who died in the period studied (U=3 484), and the sample comprised those who died as a cause of cerebrovascular diseases (n=814). In order to obtain the information, the clinical records and registry of deaths in the statistics department were reviewed; where a card to collect the data and variables was designed: mortality rate by year, age, sex, type of cerebrovascular disease and risk factors.
Results: there were no differences in sex; the groups from 60 to 69 years old and from 70 to 79 showed the highest frequency. Atherothrombotic brain infarction predominated in those over 70 years old. High blood pressure, previous cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus were the risk factors present in more than the half of the deceased.
Conclusions: the mortality rate due to cerebrovascular accidents associated with hypertension and diabetes mellitus had a similar behavior throughout the different period of years and it affected the same sex with a tendency of increasing in advanced ages, as the years of life raised, the risk factors associated with this pathology also increased.
